Abstract: The present invention comprises a series of steps used to create 3D animation cells for assembly via traditional motion picture techniques such as photography, scanning using a 3D scanner, direct 3D transcription (e.g. touching the object) for virtualization. 1. Handmade drawings, computer assisted animation (CAD), sculptures (or some combination of these elements) for photographing, scanning, direct transcription. 2. Scanning and assembly in a virtual environment. 3. Animation comprising all or some of the elements e.g. ‘compositing’: 3D printing, 3D relief or CNC of each frame of the elements, and/or partials, assembled and animated in the virtualized environment. 4. Motion capture, scanning, direct transcription of the composited outputted parts to be used as animation frames. 5. Output of the animated individual elements to motion picture and/or virtual environment.

Abstract: The invention consists of dimensional interlocking blocks with computer readable labeling and also human readable labeling on each side. The labeling consists of computer instructions or of sets or lists of instructions. When connected together the computer code is built, and is readable as a system by humans and by computers.

Abstract: A imaging assembly for generating a light beam suitable for sintering comprises a lamp housing and a lamp mounted in the lamp housing comprising a filament and a lamp base, wherein the lamp is oriented with the lamp base to the side of the filament. The imaging assembly further comprises a reflector, an aperture, and at least one condenser lens configured to focus light emitted by the filament through the aperture. The imaging assembly further comprises a set of achromatic doublet lenses, each achromatic doublet lens comprising three surfaces optimized to focus light at three wavelengths, wherein the set of achromatic doublet lenses focuses light over a range including the three wavelengths. The imaging assembly further comprises an outer lens, wherein the focused light beam exits the imaging assembly through the outer lens.

Abstract: A low noise amplifier is provided for the receiver of a wireless communications system. The amplifier incorporates an image rejection function by incorporating a notch filter formed by an inductor and capacitor connected at a node between two active elements of the amplifier. The amplifier also incorporates a gain control function by adding a further active element connected to, on one hand, a node between the inductor and capacitor and, on the other hand, a voltage supply. A gain control signal is connected to the control input of the further active element has an input connected to a feedback lead of the receiver to provide the gain control.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device, including providing a silicon substrate (10), forming a gate stack (11) on the substrate (10), coating a deep ultra-violet (DUV) photoresist (30) on the gate stack (11), exposing and developing the photoresist (30), and etching the gate stack (11). According to the present invention, the gate stack (11) has a dielectric nitride layer (26), particularly, a silicon nitride layer. An adhesive oxide layer (28) is provided between the nitride layer (26) and the photoresist (30) to prevent undesirable lifting of the photoresist (30). Yield is greatly increased and defectivity is reduced.
